Why Health
Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted. Health is wealth. Good health is the foundation of a thriving, progressive society. Health is important to live life to the fullest. When a person leads a healthy lifestyle, the body remains healthy and the mind is active and fresh. Healthcare has become one of the largest sectors of the Indian economy, in terms of both revenue and employment. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Extent of the problem
Government’s goal is to increase public health spending to 2.5% of GDP. Current health spending is only 1.15-1.5% of GDP. USA Health Expenditure is 18% of GDP. Per Capita Budget Expenditure on Health in India is among the lowest in the world. Health sector expenditure rose by 73% in 2021-22. The government expenditure on the health sector increased by 73% to 4.72 lakh crore in 2021-22, as compared to 2.73 lakh crore in 2019-20, according to the Economic Survey 2021-22. The WHO prescribes a Doctor- Population Ratio of one for every thousand, but India is lacking in this ratio.
